no sorcery, it is an easy job.

I take some Adrian hands or simular ones, suck them into acceton that the lume comes off.
I drilled a hole inside a wood plate, that the tube fit inside and the hand lying flat on the wood, tight inside. than I use only the dremel with a soft polishing bit and a little polish paste. I let it run slow and polishing the hands till they start to shine. afterwards I clean them and start polishing by hands with capecod. cleaning again and done, sounds ruff to use the dremel but it works very well. for the CP dummy I took a little
ss screw,1.2mm sand it to 1.1 mm and polished the thread side very well, cut it to length and press inside the minute hand. the last step using swiss C3 luminovo and lume each hand. after drying, I clean everything once with woman make up cotton. now they are finish for use.
